Everyone watching the video and reading this comment. Moses is literally the best KZbinr when it comes to knowing about things in Goa. Whatever he is saying is 100/100 true. I highly recommend you guys to watch and plan by looking his videos and you’ll have the most amazing time in Goa 💕

[@MosesJSaldanha]

Thank you 🙏 means a lot 🫶❤️

[@allanaranjo]

‘This is not Bangkok’ - really liked this statement in your video. This is Goa and as Goans we have our culture and tradition to uphold. Thank you for this very incisive straight to the bone topic.

Very important 🔥

Goa is a overrated place with xenophobic people having inflated ego. In my opinion, Goa is nowhere near south indians states. I lived in goa for 3 years. All I experienced was scams 24x7

[@jiraya990]

If you are visiting goa there are few things to always keep in mind 1. Never drink and drive. 2. If you are riding a bike/scooty always wear a helmet because there are police who will welcome you with open arms in every major spots. 3. Do not litter/ or through garbage. 4. And as Moses said this is not Thailand, anything involving a girl is a scam and might land you in big trouble ☮️

Yes 🫶

Guys, want to add what Moses said, don't trust Google Reviews given by users who reviewed hardly less. Check their profiles and no. of reviews given by them. We need to be extremely cautious and 100% from our side before proceeding anything. Most pubs won't allow to pay as delivered.

[@tush19904]

I started watching your videos since 2020. I have been to Goa twice between then and now and I can truly say your videos helped a lot. Way to go Moses!

[@MosesJSaldanha]

Glad you had a good time 🙏❤️

[@callingbell-ix5se]

My experiences 1. Bike rental was charged 1000 per day 2. Hotel was priced lower in agoda but charged higher on hotel NEST 3. Hukka was overcharged by 200 rupees than agreed price 4. Pub - girls approached for dance and asked for drinks. They dance with you and drink water by pretending it is its vodka and make you pay 500 per shot - just witnessed this 5. Casino- house always wins

[@MosesJSaldanha]

Exactly what I mentioned

Thank you for being the beacon of awareness and by far the best shepard of tourism for travelers. We will be visiting for the first time in our lives. Truly happy to find you.

Scratch card scam happened with me as well. We wasted our 3 hours. With there presentation and all. Prestigious hotels doing such things are surprising. They are on all beaches with same tag lines today is the last day. They give 2 cards to couple one will have better luck next time and other will have gift. Thanks to you that you have put this scam in your video.

[@MosesJSaldanha]

Yes will do in future

[@desire2love87]

Most of people visiting Goa have faced traveling problem cost is very high like taxi autos The myth is local don’t use them so whether your tourist or local you are have pay high price . Just e.g for 1.5 km auto fare is Rs100/- if your tourist then it’s even more . hope things improves for best of tourism. So business grow not of one individual but whole communities grows. ❤❤❤

Well said

[@KinjalPatel123]

I just got scammed before 15 days. I went on Calangute road side. There is a club named devis's bar or something similar like that. They told me they have girls in a bar and that girls do whatever you want for 1 hour in just 2000 bucks. So I paid and after that girl going to drink so many expensive drinks. After that she said pay the bill. And the billing amount was 35000. That was my life's first and biggest scam. In last i got nothing. So guys please stay away from that bars. Specially DEVIL'S BAR.

Moses, that wasc a very useful information you gave. Let us hear more such scams ws that we could be very cautious during our forthcoming visit.to your lovely place.

[@chandnibanerjee3486]

First of all, thank you very much for making my trip to Goa so wonderful. I used every suggestion that you gives in your videos.I stayed at PEDROS GUEST HOUSE it's a nice property as well i loved their hospitality too. I also stayed in THE NEST at palolem that u suggest in your video. Now the scam part I scamed during water sports they charges for 5 ride but they didn't tell us that Banana ride and bumper ride is closed that time. After that Parasailing time they told that if you want more height and more deep then you have to pay extra 500 for height and 300 for deep each person.They said it is your choice u can also select one and it will be given on the spot. So we bergain then we choose extra height on 450 each. And the card scacching winner prize also heppend with us but we didn't scamed by them because we didn't listen them🤭

[@MosesJSaldanha]

Glad you had a good time. Next time you can keep these other tips in mind ❤️

[@nikeshdubey4129]

I would like to share a scam, which I ran into. And 64 other people with me got into. We booked water sports from an agent in Calangute beach. Than they took us to Baina beach next morning. All the sports were going decent. But for parachute sport they kept us waiting in middle of ocean for 2 hours and it was already 5 pm then parachute guys came with parachute for doing that sport. All of us had to refuse doing that sport because it was very late already. So we asked for refund of 1000 rs (we had paid 2000) . We filled complain in police also. Police came but there was no refund. Even police was with them. The whole day was ruined because of that. And we all got scammed

[@juliemeah2944]

Dont forget many of the beach shacks provide free sunbeds if you stay for the day and buy food and drink, keep up the good work Moses

[@MosesJSaldanha]

Great tip! Sadly now most of the beach beds are run by other people and don't belong to the shacks. This is at beaches like Baga!

Good information.... also do talk about the parking scam... it's very unreasonable... they don't tell you the charges initially... So better ask before you park

[@MosesJSaldanha]

All parking has receipt

[@jeevanlawrence7626]

@@MosesJSaldanha not really.... Especially some private parking spaces near beaches insist you to park , then by the time you are leaving they'll charge an unreasonable amount (50-60/hr for two wheeler) And what's the point of a receipt, anyone can print it... I think tourists must use the official parking spaces. It may not be a scam, but people should be weary about it. 100% agree with everything else you have cautioned in the video.

Can we bring bike from other state? If so, what to do?

Is it safe to travel from south Goa to north Goa after sunset? What about travelling around north Goa in evening by two wheeler

[@ankito-090]

Is it true that the private taxi drivers in Goa charge super high fares? I've heard that if the fair price for a particular distance is 200, they would charge around 600-800. Moreover, I've also heard that some of these private taxi drivers also violently abuse the Goa Miles driver and force tourists to travel by their vehicles. Hearing these sorts of things is making me reconsider my goa travel plans

[@deepwebtube]

World over Apps like Uber and Ola has created more demand and jobs, you will see in many metros getting a cab is so difficult. Here in Goa, drivers wait whole day at each resort for their one trip. Any decision which helps consumers travel costs is bound to grow. Simply because you come back empty, why should the consumer/tourist be taxed for your return? Think if the app was in place you would have got a return passenger, is that not a win-win situation? No other place in India has this return fare being charged.

[@MosesJSaldanha]

New taxi app is being launched this week

Hello Moses, thank you for the video. Plz suggest some good tattoo parlors in North goa.

[@godstarts]

Not about scams, but a very disappointing issue is the treatment and hatred towards tourists by some Goans. Most of the decent goan folks are nice and very humble, but each time I have been to goa in last 20 visits I have witnessed few minority of goans at least once in each trip they consider tourists to be invaders and talk very rudely and even . Sometimes even as simple a thing as parking a vehicle in front of their shop even if you want to purchase a bottle of water. Goa is a tourism run place and tourists are giving them their bread and butter, fail to understand why they talk down people from other states of India especially North. Not all Indians are doing drunk balle balle on the beach. With foreigners I see them being extra cautious and polite because of obvious reason that they stand a better chance of a bigger earning.
